IMAGINE GENE DAY'S NEED FOR -- SPEED !!!

Here's a little treat by the late, great Gene Day, published in Star*Reach's Imagine #2. Perhaps Harlan Ellison inspired? Not something you'll come across, since it unfortunately has not been reprinted. I'd love to see that, since he did a lot of short stories like this for a few independent publishers.

This issue featured a gorgeous P. Craig (Killraven) Russell cover also used on the back cover with no text. Other artists featured were Trina (Legend of Wonder Woman) Robbins, Michael T. (Mr. Monster) Gilbert and Mike (Linda Loveless) Vosberg.
